Hospital Generator Fuel Delivery — Life-Safety Backup Power
When the power goes out at a hospital, lives are on the line. BettyJet ensures your generators never run dry — with scheduled keep-full service, emergency response, and the documentation you need for CMS and Joint Commission compliance.
Why Healthcare Facilities Can't Afford Unreliable Fuel Supply
Florida's healthcare facilities face a unique vulnerability: they sit in the most hurricane-prone state in the country, and they're required by federal regulation to maintain backup power for patient safety. CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and The Joint Commission mandate that hospitals maintain emergency generator fuel supplies sufficient for at least 96 hours of continuous operation. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities have their own state-level requirements following the devastating losses during Hurricane Irma in 2017.
Meeting the 96-hour fuel requirement isn't just about having a full tank when a storm hits. It requires ongoing fuel management — regular testing of generators consumes fuel, seasonal demand planning for hurricane season (June through November), and maintaining relationships with suppliers who can actually deliver during a crisis. Many healthcare facilities learned during Hurricanes Irma, Michael, and Ian that their single-source fuel supplier couldn't deliver when demand spiked across the state.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Ventilators, NICU equipment, surgical suites, medication refrigeration, dialysis machines, and electronic health records all depend on generator power when the grid fails. A single missed fuel delivery during a prolonged outage can force patient evacuations — a dangerous, expensive, and reputation-damaging event that no healthcare administrator wants to experience.
How BettyJet Protects Healthcare Facilities with Reliable Fuel
BettyJet's scheduled keep-full service ensures your generators are always ready. We work with your facilities team to establish a refueling cadence that keeps your tanks above the 96-hour threshold at all times — not just before storms. Regular deliveries account for testing schedules, seasonal generator use, and facility-specific consumption patterns so your fuel level never drops to a point where compliance is at risk.
Our dual-supplier model is especially critical for healthcare. When hurricanes make landfall and every facility in the region is calling for fuel simultaneously, having two committed suppliers doubles your chances of getting a delivery. BettyJet assigns both a primary and backup supplier to every healthcare account, with pre-negotiated emergency response protocols that activate automatically during declared emergencies.
Documentation matters in healthcare. Every BettyJet delivery comes with timestamped records showing gallons delivered, tank levels, and supplier information — the exact documentation CMS surveyors and Joint Commission auditors want to see. Our customer portal at app.bettyjet.com provides digital access to your complete delivery history, so your compliance records are always audit-ready.
For emergency situations — a generator running through fuel faster than expected during an extended outage, or an unplanned power failure — our emergency line at (509) 713-4570 is staffed 24/7, 365 days a year. We prioritize healthcare facilities and other life-safety accounts for emergency deliveries because we understand that in your industry, running out of fuel isn't an inconvenience — it's a crisis.

Healthcare Fuel Delivery FAQ
Does BettyJet help hospitals meet the CMS 96-hour generator fuel requirement?
Yes. Our keep-full service is designed specifically to maintain generator fuel levels above the 96-hour operational threshold. We work with your facilities team to calculate consumption rates based on your generator specifications and testing schedules, then establish a delivery cadence that keeps you compliant year-round — not just during hurricane season.
Can BettyJet deliver generator fuel during a hurricane or tropical storm?
We make every effort to deliver before and during storm events, though safety conditions may temporarily prevent deliveries during the most severe weather. Our dual-supplier model and pre-storm delivery protocols are designed to ensure your tanks are topped off before a storm arrives. Post-storm, healthcare facilities receive priority dispatch for emergency deliveries.
What documentation does BettyJet provide for Joint Commission audits?
Every delivery is recorded with the date, time, gallons delivered, tank level (before and after when available), and supplier information. These records are accessible through your customer portal at app.bettyjet.com and can be exported as reports for audit purposes. We've designed our documentation specifically to meet the record-keeping standards that CMS and Joint Commission surveyors expect.
Does BettyJet deliver fuel to nursing homes and assisted living facilities?
Yes. Following the generator mandate enacted after Hurricane Irma, we work with nursing homes, ALFs, and other long-term care facilities throughout Florida. We understand the state-specific fuel requirements for these facilities and can establish keep-full schedules that maintain compliance with Florida's emergency power rules.
How does BettyJet handle generator fuel for facilities with multiple buildings?
We coordinate multi-generator deliveries for campus-style healthcare facilities. Our suppliers fuel all generators on your property in a single visit when possible, with individual metered readings for each generator.
